WHAT IS CHOORA CEREMONY?

A Choora is a set of bangles that are usually red and white, sometimes the red bangles are replaced with another color, but they are usually only two colors. Traditionally made of ivory, with inlay work, though now made with plastic they are worn by an Indian bride on her wedding day, especially during Hindu wedding and Sikh wedding. The choora ceremony is held on the morning of the wedding or the day before. The bride's maternal uncle and aunt give her a set of choorae (21 bangles in red and white ivory).
